I am still enjoying this thread.

To be fair, all the guitar work is the right stuff. And the rhythm section support of it is the right stuff. And it was captured to tape so well.

I would have used the drill but the battery was flat. Molegrips were all I had.

There is beauty in a tidy and well-ordered headstock.

This iteration of The Pretenders really did it for me. The whole of the first album hit the spot in all sorts of ways.

Wait! He can do all this with wood AND he gets to live in Italy? Wow. Lots of good things in one place there.

I ordered a deeply obscure pickup from them. They told me upfront that it would take yonks. It took yonks, but they kept me informed. You cannot ask more than that.

I will be looking at those D-Rocs again though!

So right! I had no idea! Obv mutter mutter ......extra string...... arm off....mutter.

I played a ridiculous and silly pointy guitar Explorer thang last week. SO comfy! Who knew?

Baby Baby! A thematic collection. I can respect this.

Hmmmmmmm....sparkly .....mmmmmm

To be fair to G&L, there is a 10 year guarantee on their instruments. They sent me a brand new neck from the US at their expense without even flinching.

Of course, the problem now is that I am going to have to collect all the bits I need to house this into it's next instrument.

I am expecting a parcel from Mick. I have not even seen it but I know it will be all good

No matching headstock = sadness

What I like about it most is that someone who knows has done all that tedious tweaking stuff. There are VERY few areas in life where I realise that my skillset trumps other people's. (Don't worry for me, I have an exceptional relationship with myself). With tweaking parameters and all that jazz, if proper grown ups have done ones where I can scroll through 30 and find one which makes a noise I like then it is happy days as far as I am concerned. And life is way too short to squeeze out that extra 3% which I will never hear once the Guitarmageddon kicks in.

I have given up. I will never top this timescale. I recognise greatness when I see it. Feel my defeated spirit
